Hello!
On behalf of CroMSIC I would like to wish you a
warm welcome to Zagreb, the capital of Croatia
where you will spend, hopefully, the best month of
your life. First of all, let me introduce us: CroMSIC
was founded in 1992 and since then is a member of
IFMSA. There are 4 Local Committees, Zagreb, Osijek,
Rijeka and Split, with CroMSIC Zagreb being one of
the biggest ones.
Zagreb has always been a very popular destination
for exchange students and every year over 60
students come to Zagreb for their IFMSA exchange.
The team that will make sure this really becomes
the best month of your life is:

Now, let me tell you something about the city where
you will spend the best month of your life:
Zagreb, the capital city of the Republic of Croatia is an
old Central European city. It lies on the intersection of
important routes between the Adriatic coast and
Central Europe. When the Croatian people achieved
their independence in 1991, Zagreb became a capital
- a political and administrative center for the
Republic of Croatia. Zagreb is also the hub of the
business, academic, cultural, artistic and sporting
worlds in Croatia.
Zagreb can offer its visitors the Baroque atmosphere
of the Upper Town, picturesque open-air markets,
diverse shopping facilities, an abundant selection of
crafts and a choice vernacular cuisine. Zagreb is a
city of green parks and walks, with many places to
visit in the beautiful surroundings. In spite of the
rapid development of the economy and
transportation, it has retained its charm, and a
relaxed feeling that makes it a genuinely human city.

We are all very excited and look forward to meet you

here in Zagreb, hope you are too ☺

Have I mentioned this will be the best month of your

life?
See you soon!

2. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Public transportation in the city is organized in several layers: the inner parts of the city are
mostly covered by trams, the outer city areas and closer suburbs are linked with buses and
rapid transit commuter rail.
The public transportation company ZET (Zagrebacki elektricni tramvaj, Zagreb Electric Tram)
operates trams, all inner bus lines, and the most of the suburban bus lines. The best option
is to buy the ZET's monthly ticket which costs 400 kn and gives you the option of free
transportation by trams and buses for the whole month.
TRAM LINES:
Zagreb has an extensive tram network with 15 day and 4 night lines covering much of the
inner and middle-suburbs of the city.
Tram number for some destinations (from the dorms):
- the main square (Trg bana Jelacica) – 14, 17

- Main Bus Station – 5

- hospitals: Rebro – 4, 5, 17; Dubrava – 4

- Faculty of Medicine – 4, 14, 17
BUS LINES:

for you. Here's the link of the lines depending on where you want to go.
http://www.zet.hr/default.aspx?id=294

TRAIN LINES:
The national rail operator Croatian Railways (Hrvatske zeljeznice, HZ) runs a network of
urban and suburban train lines in the metropolitan Zagreb area. If you're going to the
suburbs, the best is to come to the Main Railway Station and then get on a train. It's a
different company than ZET so the train tickets are not included in a monthly ZET's
ticket. You can find more details about ticket prices and train timetable on the following
link: http://www.hzpp.hr/en

TAXIES:
Taxies are readily available through a network of around 3000 taxi vehicles held by
different companies which are all quite cheap.

Radio Taxi Zagreb: +38511777; www.radio-taksi-zagreb.hr
Eko Taxi: +38511414; www.ekotaxi.hr

RENT A BICYCLE:

register online first and then you can use it. For more detail instructions go to the
following page: http://www.nextbike.hr/en/zagreb/

UBER:
